What do you guys do with all the dead mango leaves...
« on: July 23, 2021, 03:42:51 PM »
Every year around this time, the area underneath my Mango trees usually has a good layer of dead mango leaves from the year's growth. Is it okay to leave it for mulch or do you rake it up once a year and discard it? I've always wondered if dead mango leaves are good for mulching the tree, my trees are appx 11-14 years old. Thanks for any help and feedback

Agreed.  Free mulch.

Oh yeah, leave them on the ground to decompose if you can.  Feed the soil, and feed the tree.  Best type of recycling!
